1.0 Welcome

Welcome to the CA ARCserve D2D Release Notes. This document contains the following information relating to the use of CA ARCserve D2D:


2.0 New Features

The following new features have been added to CA ARCserve D2D for this release:

GRANULAR-LEVEL RESTORE OF EXCHANGE OBJECTS

Each time CA ARCserve D2D performs a successful backup, a point-in-time snapshot image of your backup is also created. This collection of recovery points allows you to locate and specify exactly which backup image you want to restore. For Exchange you can then browse these recovery points to locate the individual objects (mailboxes, mailbox folders, or mail) that you want to recover.

EXPLORER INTEGRATION

CA ARCserve D2D provides the capability of directly browsing and restoring files/folder and Exchange objects (mailboxes, mail folders, mail) from Windows Explorer by using the "Change to ARCserve D2D View" option.

COPY RECOVERY POINTS

The Copy Recovery Points feature can now be launched manually (ad-hoc) or automatically based upon your specified schedule.

BACKUP SPEED THROTTLING

CA ARCserve D2D provides you with the capability to specify the maximum speed (MB/min) at which your backups are written. You can throttle the backup speed to reduce CPU or network use. However, limiting the backup speed, has an adverse effect on the backup window. As you lower the maximum backup speed, it increases the amount of time of perform the backup.

Note: By default, the Throttle Backup option is not enabled and backup speed is not being controlled.

ALERT NOTIFICATIONS

CA ARCserve D2D provides the following email alert notifications:

ENCRYPTION/DECRYPTION SUPPORT

CA ARCserve D2D provides the capability to encrypt and protect (with encryption passwords) your sensitive data and also decrypt the encrypted data after recovery.

FILE COPY

File Copy can be used for copying critical data to secondary locations and can also be used as an archiving solution. File Copy allows you to safely and securely delete the source data after it has been copied to an off-site or secondary storage repository.

CA ARCserve D2D provides the following capabilities to copy or move files and help you reduce storage cost, meet compliance, and improve data protection.

Note: When you use the option File Copy - Delete Source, the data is moved from the source to the destination (deleted from source location). When you perform a file copy, the data is copied from the source to the destination (files remain intact on the original location).
